We have a camper so we are still able to go on mini vacations (1-4 days) as well as 1-2 week vacations because we don't have the high cost of a hotel room and eating out. We prepare our meals in the camper or on the grill.
Plus with all the bed bug infestations in hotels I have been hearing about I am happy to NOT go to a hotel

I am taking my boys to Texas for 10 days later this month. My family is there and I am still blessed with 2 living grandmothers. I will go every year as long as they are living. We plan for the trip every year, kind of like Christmas so it is an expect and planned ahead expense.

We are also going to the coast for an extra long Labor Day weekend. We have a fifth wheel so that cuts our expenses a lot.

My husband and I work more than 50 hours a week and our jobs are very demanding, a vacation is almost a necessity for us.

We do a road trip and sometimes 2 every summer. We always visit my great uncle who just turned 90. And we do fun day trips (like whale watching) instead of a fancy resort someplace. The cost equals just the airfare of flying somewhere, so it is obvious that right now the road trip is the way to go.

Saving up for a big trip overseas in the next couple of years, though.
